I'd like to thank the uploader of this comedic gem. Though on the DVD I have of the episode it's titled "Air Steward Hancock - The Last of Many". Either way, big thanks.

In this charmingly quaint episode, Hancock becomes a steward on an airplane, while a criminal, who Hancock appearantly has met before, is using the airplane to smuggle money out of the UK.

Though there is a notable goof towards the end (in real life, opening a door to an airplane during flight would of caused massive depressurization).

In the end though, this is an entertaining example of 50's British TV.
